Bilstein R-2000 - anyone heard about it?

[czah]

recently I found the way of cleaning an engine, it's called "Bilstein R-2000 Engine Flush System", some details may be found here:

What do you think about it?

There is also an engine additive "Bilstein R-2000" with Micro-Metal techonology, Im not sure if this is good for an engine, maybe anyone has used it, any opinions??

Engine flushes are bad! No! Waste-o-Money

If you have a sludged engine, I would do it. Been trying to find a shop that has the equipment.

Bilstein has been around for some time it is a solvent process
you would not want to add solvent to a sludged engine. Than there is the matter of cost. Also no guarantee.

We used to have one at the dealership and it helped clean up several engines and it is a heated, pressurized cleaning of the oiling system and then falls down to the pan and is sucked out.

If a car was really dirty we just ran it twice on one filter. Usually the oil came was so clean afterwards it was hard to see on the dipstick.

The hard part is once it is done you really need to reprime the engine's oiling system or you will have one nasty dry start.

Never seen any problems nor seen it break all kinds of stuff loose.

CZAH,

Yes my Toyota dealership has used it on my 89' Camry with great results. Not cheap but it appears to work well.
